The folks at Cadbury have been on the hunt for a new pet to star as the bunny in their 2021 spring ad campaign. The company announced the contest earlier this year, prompting proud pet parents to submit a photo and short description explaining why their four-legged friend should be this year's winner.
After a pre-selection process, the 10 finalists from the pool of more than 12,000 have finally been announced—and they're all absolutely adorable. Cadbury is asking America to pick this year's "bunny," who will appear in the trademark commercial this spring, by casting your vote on Cadbury's Bunny Tryouts website. (FYI: You can vote once a day.) Each pet is listed with a picture of them donning a pair of bunny ears, alongside a short bio, and a link to vote.
The winner of the competition gets a $5,000 cash prize—plus Cadbury is making a $15,000 donation to ASPCA in honor of the event. Take a look at this year's impressive finalist lineup:

Pepa is a Persian cat with an adorable penchant for sunglasses—in fact, this cool cat wears them everywhere he goes to shield himself from the hot Florida sun. We already love him.

This Australian White's tree frog named Betty—also a Floridian—is a serious contender, thanks to her photogenic smile. The bunny-ear top hat is a nice touch, too.
